I have a suspension seat post, and a front suspension on my Sedona DX.
I have tightened the seat post to make it a virtual solid post. I felt no difference.
Next week after I go rigid on the forks maybe I will want to allow the seat post to absorb some shock... Don't know yet. If I don't need to loosen it, I may keep my eyes open for an inexpensive replacement post.
